Premier League: Louis van Gaal disappointed with season start
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal admitted after the 1-1 draw at Sunderland on Sunday that grabbing a single point from his first two Premier League matches in charge is not acceptable. The opening match ended in a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Swansea City. "We have one point and that is not good enough for Manchester United," said van Gaal. "We have to work a lot. The players are very disappointed after the game because we thought we would win." When asked how long it would take to turn things around at the club, he said: "You can never say how long it takes because when you win the next match, the confidence comes back." "I expect Manchester United will improve," the manager added when asked if they could still win the Premier League title this season. "Whether that can be done in time to get in touch with the top teams, that's the big question. Manchester United must show people they are a team to be feared again. For large parts of last season, teams treated a fixture against them as just another game." Manchester United are now 10/1 at Bet365 to win the Premier League in van Gaal's first season in charge.
